I'm happy for them..but they really should've gotten married first. It just doesn't look good being so closely related to royalty.

Well it is sort of a family tradition. All of Princess Antoinettes children and the first 2 of Princess Stephanies children were born before their parents married in civil ceremonies. Of course the marriages were soon followed by divorces.
 
Let's do not make such a fuss about it. They won't be hiding the baby for ever ;) we will certainly see Andrea's boy in two, three months

Sorry but you're wrong, there is such a thing as illegitmate children in the UK and in France. Jazmin and Alexandre are both considered illegitimate children, Jazmin is even considered an adulterine child. This child will remain illegitimate and have no place in Monaco Succesion until his parents marry. Same goes for Louis Ducruet who was legitimised by his parents marriage.

No, it's you who are wrong I'm sorry. I'm not really sure about the UK, but I doubt it is bvery different from the two countries I'm sure about, Spain and France.

In France, legally speaking, it doesn't exist such a thing as an "illegitimate child" and french law doesn't even recognize the terms "adulterine child".

I mean, you can use the words, the words do exist, and they mean the child was born out of wedlock, but they are void of legal meaning because in France a child born out of wedlock (enfant naturel) has the exact same legal and economic rights than a child of married parents.

If you are religious, yes, then, a catholic wedding does "legitimize" a child in the eyes of god and the church, but it has zero legal value.

Jazmin and Alexandre simply don't have succesion rights to the Principality of Monaco. That' all. Appart from that they have they are legally Albert heirs

Of course, you don't have to belive my word, but maybe this piece from Le Monde will help:

Quote (I'm sorry about the bold type, I don't seem to be able to make is smaller):
Peu à peu, le législateur a pris acte de ce bouleversement des modes de vie. En 1972, il a proclamé l'égalité des filiations légitimes et naturelles. "Tous les enfants dont la filiation est légalement établie ont les mêmes droits et les mêmes devoirs dans leurs rapports avec leur père et leur mère, précise depuis lors le code civil. Ils entrent dans la famille de chacun d'eux."
Plusieurs textes ont, ensuite, fait disparaître les derniers privilèges des enfants légitimes : la loi sur les successions de 2001 a affirmé l'égalité en matière successorale et celle sur l'autorité parentale de 2002 a supprimé la distinction, dans ce domaine, entre les pères mariés et les pères naturels qui reconnaissent leur enfant avant l'âge d'un an.


La distinction entre enfants lgitimes et naturels va disparatre

Jazmin, Alexandre and now the baby of Andrea and Tatiana (until the marriage) are considered illegitimate only to the Monaco Sucessions issues.

I think what trepstep meant to say is that in France as well as many western european countries like Portugal for example (I don't know about the UK), there is no such things as illegitimate children. According to the law of such countries, the parents being married or not is totally irrelevant. Children born out of wedlock or even "adulterine" children as you said have the same status/rights that children born from married parents.
So, the fact that Andrea and Tatiana are not married only matters for the sucessions issue, apart from it, the fact that they are not married is irrelevant

Exactly. You explained it much better than me!:flowers:

This is what I meant to say as well on my previous post butforgot to further elaborate.Andrea's son has no succession rights (in the meantime) to the throne of Monaco but yes to the personal fortune of his parents..same goes to Alexandre and Jazmin who have every right to Albert's personal fortune but none to the throne.

Royalty or not, couples are now having children without being married first. I'm glad Andrea & Tatiana is getting married, despite them having the baby first. I think a solid family foundation is important.
 
^^But a solid family foundation depends on whether the parents are married or not? I mean, sure a couple that does live together and behaves like a married couple (whether they are married or not) is a better solid family foundation than a divorced couple. But noticed that two people don't need to be legally married to live together and raise a family exactly like a legally married couple would. I give you the example of Carine Roitfeld who never married her "husband" and they live together for more than 30 years, seem to be very happy with each other and raised two children who from what I can see seem to have very solid foundations.
Tatiana and Andrea seem to have a stable relationship (from what we can see) and nothing leads me to believe that they wouldn't be able to have a very solid family even if they didn't married.
At the end, ihaving a document or not is pretty irrelevant
 
I guess the birth must have been a c-section. If the baby was born on the 21st and she's leaving to go home on the 26th it certainly seems to indicate so.
 
^ This is tangential to the Baby Casiraghi, but UK (and American) law do differentiate between children born in and out of wedlock. Whether or not the parents are married can effect the baby's ability to get British/American citizenship if s/he is born overseas, and I still see wills that refer specifically to legitimate/or recognized children. Obviously this is difference from France, where immediate family members have certain rights to a decedent's estate and cannot be completely disinherited.

I have no idea about the United States, but you are wrong about the UK. It was like that in the 19th century, and the 1st half of the 20th century, but since the Family Law Reform Act of 1969, children born out of wedlock do inherit.

Part II
Property Rights of Illegitimate Children
14Right of illegitimate child to succeed on intestacy of parents, and of parents to succeed on intestacy f illegitimate child(1)

Where either parent of an illegitimate child dies intestate as respects all or any of his or her real or personal property, the illegitimate child or, if he is dead, his issue, shall be entitled to take any interest therein to which he or such issue would have been entitled if he had been born legitimate.


When there is a testament the parents can probably choose to leave more money to a particular child, or to the legitimate children, but in that case there is no difference between legitimate or illegimate either. If you have only legitimate children can also choose to leave most of your fortune to one legitimate child, and only the mandadory part the law forces you to leave to the other legimate child.


In France, it's not that they can't be completely disinherited. Natural children have the exact same rights than children born from a married couple.
I'm not sure if Monaco is subjected 100% to french civil law, but if that's the case, then Alexandre and Jazmin have the exact same rights to Albert's personal fortune than any child born from his marriage with Charlene may have.

No, I'm not wrong. Since I wasn't sure about the UK I googled it and checked the facts.

I've just posted an extract of the Family Law Reform Act of 1969.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's the british law.

Hola is also speculating about the name Sacha,citing Stephane Bern..The magazine is still waiting for an official confirmation from the Principality.It also said that Princess Caroline flew in to London to visit her first grandson.

I'd never have guessed the name Sacha,I was thinking more traditional Grimaldi names.
 
I am sure that Stefano Casiraghi is over the moon in heaven about his grandson. What a pity that they won't meet.
 
I wonder which language Andrea and Tatiana talk when they're together ?
They're so international...english ? french ? other ?

Maybe the reason for them being considered as illegitimate is that they were born before July 1, 2006, when the law in France (and possibly Monaco) changed and there are no longer any legal difference between children born out of wedlock or not.

I would actually say that in a way, you're both right.

There is such thing as illegitimate children, pretty much regardless of where you go. Illegitimate children are children who are born out of wedlock and remain that way - a child can be retroactively legitimized (at least in some countries) through the marriage of their parents.

The fact that British law uses the term "illegitimate" in reference to such children means that the concept exists. It doesn't mean that they don't have equal rights to legitimate children - and they do - it just means that they are recognized legally as being illegitimate.

Oh wow...didn't know that.
 
In Monaco, legitamacy makes a difference as to the line of succession; and rightly so.

I believe in most monarchies, legitimacy makes a difference as to the line of succession.

In the Monaco legitimacy can be retroactively applied; a child born illegitimately is legitimized by the marriage of his or her parents. Andrea's son, or Albert's children for that matter, can be legitimized by a later marriage and will subsequently have a spot in the line of succession. This is not the case in all monarchies.

My God... Andrea looks terrible... P. Caroline looks quite happy and Pierre is celebrating for sure, with a cigar on his lips and his friends pouring liquor down his throat... :lol: :lol: :lol: AND WHAT ABOUT ALEX?!?! Big surprise to see him there. But that´s nice... It means he kept his friendship with the Casiraghis and with P. Caroline who always treated him as part of the family. Liked to see him there!

Alex's presence is not a surprise at all. Tatiana is a good friend of the Dellal's due to her mother, who is brazilian, being friends with them (Andrea Dellal is brazilian). They all belong to the same group of incredibly rich brazilian socialites who pass most of their time in Europe and USA. They are all friends since childhood. Alex was a friend of Tatiana way before he met Charlotte. So he is there to celebrate the birth of a very close friend's son, who happens to be the nephew of his ex-girlfriend.
 
Thank you for the pics,Lady Finn.

They all looked happy,obviously.Nice to see Pierre with a typical cigar lol.Not surprised to see Alex there s they all form a one big group of friends.Also,Alex's girlfriend is about to give birth to their child as well.Hola is speculating that the wedding will be this summer..in the meantime,it's all just a waiting game.
